@plaindb/storage v0.0.6

Storage

A highly modular storage interface and base class for building custom database storage adapters.

Features

• Standardized API: Offers a consistent way to interact with different storage backends.
• Async/Await Support: Built with native promise support for modern JavaScript workflows.
• Iterator Support: Asynchronous iterator function for traversing through stored keys.
• Sub-storage: Create sub-storages with a specified path.

Installation

Install the package with:

npm install @plaindb/storage

Usage

First, import the Storage library.

import Storage from '@plaindb/storage'

or

const Storage = require('@plaindb/storage')

// create a storage instance:
const storage = new Storage()

// or, extend Storage to create a custom storage adapter:
class MyCustomStorage extends Storage {
  async _connect() {
    // Implement your connect logic here
  }
  async _disconnect() {
    // Implement your disconnect logic here
  }
}

const myStorage = new MyCustomStorage()

Documentation

• API Reference

Interface (IStorage)

The IStorage interface class provides the following methods which need to be implemented:

• connect(): Initialize the storage connection.
• disconnect(): Close the storage connection.
• getNativeConnection(): Retrieve the native client/connection object.
• get(key): Retrieve a value by key.
• put(key, value): Store a value by key.
• del(key): Delete a value by key.
• iterator(opts): Asynchronous iterator for key-value pairs.
• sub(path, opts): Create a sub-storage with a specified path.

Methods

connect()

Connects to the storage backend.

disconnect()

Disconnects from the storage backend.

get(key)

Retrieves a value from the storage by key.

const value = await storage.get('someKey')

put(key, value)

Stores a value in the storage by key.

await storage.put('someKey', 'someValue')

del(key)

Deletes a value from the storage by key.

await storage.del('someKey')

iterator(opts)

Returns an asynchronous iterator for key-value pairs.

for await (const { key, value } of storage.iterator()) {
  console.log(key, value)
}

sub(path, opts)

Creates a sub-storage with a specified path.

const subStorage = storage.sub('some/path')

Events

• error: Emitted when there is an error in connecting or disconnecting.

storage.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error(`Error: ${err}`)
})

Tests
